Deciphering decadal cycle of Indian equities

• Since inception in 1979, the Sensex returns for each of the four decades has been 4x (median value). The study helps investors to form a larger perspective
and stay the course during times of turbulence. As can be seen in the below chart, despite a host of negativity around geopolitical worries along with higher

MOMENTUM PICK
inflation and interest rates, the Nifty stayed the course by achieving its projected target of 18900 for CY22
• Projection for current decade (CY21-30) on the basis of CY20 close (Nifty:13982) works out to around 55,000
• Empirically, third and fourth year of the decade has always been positive with acceleration in returns to higher teens (median values)
• It is worth noting that such returns do not come in a linear fashion and corrections of around 20% along the way have always been a buying opportunity

Fundamental Outlook
• Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is India’s largest engineering & construction (E&C) company, with interest in EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing and services. The
company primarily operates in infrastructure, heavy engineering, defence engineering, power, hydrocarbon, services business segments

• With a pick-up in capex cycle and diversified segmental exposure, we believe L&T is best capex play in the large cap capital goods segment. The company
is optimistic about meeting its 15% growth guidance for revenue and order inflow in FY23. L&T has targeted revenues and order inflow growth at a CAGR
of 15% and 14%, respectively, over FY21-26 with a consolidated RoE of 18%

• Focus on asset monetisation to further strengthen the balance sheet and improve return ratios. L&T has strong b/s, controlled working capital and strong
cash generation. In the medium term, with order backlog of | 370000 crore coupled with improving margin profile and literally net debt free standalone
balance sheet, we expect strong earnings CAGR of 16.2% over FY22-24E. The key concern on L&T metro projects is also in the resolution stage, which will
further lighten up the balance sheet and lead to a rerating, going ahead. We value L&T at | 2355 on an SoTP basis

Recommendation initiated on i-click to gain at 14:32 on December 19, 2022 Time Frame: 12 Months
Fundamental Outlook
 Ambuja Cement (now Adani group conglomerate) is a large cement player with capacity of 31.5 MT spread across North (35%), South (24%), West
(~20%), East (~21%) in India. It has a large marketing set-up & pan-India presence. The new management plans to increase consolidated capacity to
~140 MT in the next five years (i.e. at 16% CAGR). Keeping this in mind, the new board has approved fund infusion of | 20,000 crore by issuing
warrants to promoter entity on a preferential basis
 The company is currently investing | 3,500 crore for expansion of 7.0 MT GUs across their existing units at Sankrail and Farakka and at a greenfield
location at Barh, in Bihar, supported by a 3.2 MT brownfield clinker expansion at existing integrated plant in Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh. This will enhance
its cement capacity by ~8.5 MT to 40 MT by Q4CY24. It has a strong balance sheet. Also, the group’s exposure into energy and logistics will help them
to improve cost dynamics and gain supply chain efficiencies
 The termination of agreement with Holcim for payment of technology and know-how fees would lead to instant cost savings of 1% of revenues from
Q4CY22 onwards

Fundamental Outlook
• Bosch Ltd (Bosch) is a technology leader providing solutions in automotive, industrial technology, consumer goods, energy & building technology. Mobility
solutions (automotive products) comprised ~85% of FY22 sales with share of Business Beyond Mobility pegged at ~15%. Within mobility, it has a large
presence in diesel-dependent vehicles (SUVs, CVs) & tractors

• We like Bosch given its leadership positioning in powertrain technology with parent supported ready solutions for Flex Fuel, BS VI phase II transition, EVs
and hybrids. The company is poised to benefit from industry tailwinds in the form of healthy volume growth, diesel powertrain gaining traction
domestically and incremental role to play amid more stringent emission control norms (BS-VI phase 2 and beyond)

• Amid strong focus on increasing domestic sales with underlying focus on exports (~9-12% of sales), we build in 18.2% sales CAGR over FY22-24E.
Operating leverage gains and localisation push is seen aiding margin improvement to 14.5% by FY24E with consequent PAT growth pegged at 23.1% over
FY22-24E. With cash positive b/s and capital efficient business model, we have a positive view on the company

• Margins could remain volatile in near term. However, improvement in operating leverage and lower credit cost is seen aiding RoA ahead of 2.5% in FY23-

Fundamental Outlook
• Bajaj Electricals (BEL) is a leading player in the consumer durables space with its product portfolio spanning across electrical appliances, fans & lightings. It
is among the top three players in the lighting segment and has a leadership position in mixer grinders, water heaters and electric irons category

• Despite pandemic led challenges and supply concerns, BEL’s consumer products (CP) segment has grown at a CAGR of 11.1% over FY19-22 led by new
product launches and dealer expansion into new geographies. Going forward, we believe BEL’s CP revenue to grow at a CAGR of 14% over FY22-24E led
by new product launches (into lightings and appliances segments), expansion of its sales & distribution channel and market share gains in its key product
segments. On the margin front, we build in EBITDA margin expansion of ~330 bps over FY22-24E led by improving sales mix and easing raw material
prices

• In order to streamline its business structure, BEL plans to demerge its low margin engineering & project business by the end of FY23E. We believe strong
growth in the consumer product segment, robust balance sheet condition and restructuring of business profile will benefit the company in the long run

• KEC International (KEC) is one of the EPC majors in key infrastructure sectors such as power T&D, railways, civil, urban infrastructure, solar, smart
infrastructure, oil & gas pipelines and cables. A strategic shift in portfolio from T&D to non-T&D (13% contribution in FY16 increased to 50% in FY22). T&D
diversified across countries with entry in ~20 countries in last five years

• KEC’s SAE business’ legacy EPC projects will get executed by Q3FY23, which will arrest losses and help to improve margin. Also, execution of new orders
with good margins will come into play in H2FY23

• KEC over the past years has significantly de-risked its business from a core T&D player to an all-round infra player with sizeable scalability happening in the
railways and the civil segment. Non T&D business is now almost 50% of the overall revenue pie. With strong backlog of | 27569 crore with L1 orders worth
~| 6500 crore and execution low margins orders behind us, we believe KEC is entering a strong growth trajectory. With PAT CAGR of 53.2% over FY22-
